Andrea,

I'm not entirely sure on this one ... you have RTFM?  There's "gmirror 
configure -a" ... but that is about synchronization.

What does gmirror info says before you forget / insert?

My hunch is that you are not rebooting cleanly, so when the system comes 
up, gmirror thinks it has to re-sync the disks, but it is not configured 
to do so automatically?

What command / process did you use to set up your mirror?

-d
